I'm right up the road in Gun Barrel City. Corn works just fine for me. I do on occasion mix strawberry kool-aide with the corn. Paticularly if I'm digging a post hole and filling it with corn.

im in east texas and this is what we do. take a 5 gallon bucket. fill the bucket half full of corn, 1 gallon of milk, 3 cherry koolaid packets, 5 cups of water, 1 cup diesel, old fruit, and a couple old loafs of bread. mix it up and set it in the sun for 2 weeks with somme type of lid on it. then just go pour it on the ground but not where you want to deer hunt. it stinks to high heven b ut it has worked wonders for us. i know it sounds made up but it works.

Corn, corn and more corn.. The more soured the better. Like Greg said, you can add some strawberry kool aid. I use vanilla extract sometimes. Rotten potato's work too, if it stinks, it will usually work.

We hunt right between Centerville and Buffalo and all we use is plain corn. The pigs know what time the feeders go off and are there waiting on it. A couple years ago we shot over 100 of them trying to thin them out but it doesn't look like it really made a difference.
